These numbers are required sodium intake levels and are from my previous readings. The study released in April referenced groups divided by over/under 2.0 grams (2,000mg) and 1.2 grams (1,200mg) per day respectively. This is against a background of average American consumption of 3.5 to 4.0 grams (3,500 to 4,000mg) of sodium per day.

In other words, no one is going to become ill by bringing their sodium consumption under 1.2 grams per day.
